　　I got annoyed and expected she would have __4__， but then I just decided to __5__ it and got down to selecting which pastry (点心) to go with my coffee. The lady and I ended up sitting at adjacent (邻近的) tables. She was on the end of a row so that she could park her __6__. After about half an hour, when she had __7__ her coffee, she got up and back onto her scooter. It __8__ start. She tried to turn the key several times __9__ she telephoned the place she purchased it from.

　　An engineer __10__ within 5 minutes. The place must have been local. I couldn't __11__ overhearing their conversation, and it turned out she had just __12__ the scooter that morning. This was her very first outing in it. She felt really __13__ about driving it. __14__， she wasn't used to its speed, nor its __15__， and this combination made it quite __16__ to drive it through narrow gaps.

　　Suddenly, I felt __17__ for the lady. It really didn't __18__ me at all that she'd driven over my foot. I had made an assumption, __19__， that a person doing that should apologize.

　　Next time you're about to __20__ someone, pause for a second and remind yourself that people have judged you without knowing what was going on in your mind or your life.
